Out of interest (after a conversation with my friend where she confessed that her 2 1/2 year old daughter has said "Bl00dy Hell" recently) I asked ds1 if he could tell me any rude words.
Bearing in mind that dh and I do swear more than we should in front of the children and have been arguing a bit recently too.......
ds1 said "I WANT"... "That's rude isn't it mummy, we should say 'I would like' because I want doesn't get ".
I prompted him a bit and he came up with "poopoohead"
I quizzed him over whether BUM and WILLY were rude but he just laughed.
I know that in extreme moments we've said sht and Fck and Bl**dy within earshot (I know, I know, we need to be more careful) but how come he only remembers poopoohead which he and his pre-school chums were very fond of trotting out sometimes and the fact that I tell him it's rude to keep saying I want all the time instead of asking nicely.
He is being outsworn by someone half his age should I be worried or do girls just have better language skills ?
